8 Live-Action Disney Films That Are Better Than Their Animated Fare

1961 saw the release of Disney's The Absent Minded Professor. This film had Fred MacMurray playing the absent minded Professor Brainard, a chemistry professor at a local college. This isn't just any professor, this one invents a wonderful substance that gains energy when it strikes a hard surface. This substance is known as flubber, or flying rubber if you're not into the whole brevity thing. He uses this flubber to fix college basketball games and avoid traffic, he was quite the law breaker.
